Keir Starmer convenes Cobra committee as UK not involved in strike on Iran

• US and Israeli forces conducted "pre-emptive" missile strikes against Iran on Saturday morning, citing concerns over Iran's nuclear weapons programme.
• Iran retaliated with missile strikes targeting Israel and other nations across the Middle East following the initial attacks.
• The UK confirmed it was not involved in the strikes, advocating for a negotiated solution to Iran's nuclear ambitions and urging against further regional escalation.
• The Foreign Office issued a warning against all travel to Israel, and British nationals in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE were advised to shelter in place.
• Sir Keir Starmer convened the Government’s emergency Cobra committee, while Dame Emily Thornberry criticised the attack's legality and warned of regional destabilisation. Donald Trump called the attacks a "noble mission".
